I don't know, it was terrible years ago, I doubt it's gotten better.

A couple of years ago Sam was out for a day and Bob Kelly, Rich Vos and (I think) Colin Quinn were in studio with Jim, the jump in quality was gigantic.

Not that the problem lies solely with Sam, Jim's also a lot more boring nowadays. (Let's spend half the show bitching about our phones!)

For all of his faults, Sam seems to do a much better job of steering the ship than Opie ever did.

I haven’t listened in years now, do they still use the same sort of language as the O&A show used to use? I remember Jimmy throwing around the other f- word well into the 2010s.

No. But I guess he does have a girlfriend living with him now.

My brother listens to the show (without having listened to O&A) and he talks about "Boomer Jimmy" complaining about not being able to use certain words any more. My bro has no political affiliation and never talks about "wokism" or anything like that, he is simply annoyed by "pontificating rear end" Jim Norton

This sucks. There is a great Denny super cut on YouTube. The guy had far better wit and comedic ability than Opie. Plus an encyclopedia of useless radio history.

Ironic he’s getting poo poo canned since he was such a company man.

Hopefully he’s old enough now to retire or just earn a living as a wedding DJ.

I hope he can retire comfortably and do a podcast of just telling stories from his radio days. I bet he has a bunch of them that are oddly entertaining.

A butterfly flaps its wings; O&A never meet.

Opie and Denny go on to become the most successful Morning Zoo duo in the format's history.

Ant finally finds fame and retires from tin knocking in 2006 when he's sentenced on multiple kidnapping & statutory rape charges going down as the most successful prosecution in the history of To Catch A Predator.

^^ It is interesting that for someone who spent so much time in media that he spends more time nowadays whining about a job that is at least five years in the past. He can't find something else to do with his time?

Ant would definitely be caught on To Catch a Predator.

Opie would be a no-name disc jockey whose attitude would put him on the late-night shifts on a variety of radio stations across the nation who would eventually get fired for sexual harassment, then wind out the rest of his working days working in an office job until Social Security or a heart attack puts him out to pasture.

Also, that time Anthony played the sound drops of Hansen reading the pedos' inappropriate text chats, while doing the Chris Hansen voice, to Chris Hansen. I've never heard the guy more uncomfortable.

I got Pendulum in my head the other day for some reason. Then I remembered the cover contest. I remember that being the last good period of the show.
